Provisions for Government Health Care Hidden In Stimulus Bill

Found this about the chilling but unfortunately included picky issues that CHUCK Schumer reminded all of us that Americans don't care about.


Please visit this link for all the information and my apologies for posting this much but I couldn't figure out how to condense this information. I probably already have posted some of this stuff.
The WHOLE STORY

Why are the following hidden in the stimulus bill?

Because Democrats understand that sneaking it in is easier than making the case to the Americna people, here is why …..

1. A provision in the stimulus creates a new bureaucracy, the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology, that will monitor treatments to make sure your doctor is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost effective. The goal is to“guide” your doctor’s decisions (442, 446). reduce costs and

2. Hospitals and doctors that are not “meaningful users” of the new system will face penalties. “Meaningful user” isn’t defined in the bill. That will be left to the HHS secretary, who will be empowered to impose “more stringent measures of meaningful use over time” (511, 518, 540-541)

3. A provision in the stimulus creates the Federal Coordinating Council for Comparative Effectiveness Research (190-192). Daschle’s 2008 book (”Critical: What We Can Do About The Health Care Crisis) explained, the goal is to slow the development and use of new medications and technologies because they are driving up costs. He praises Europeans for being more willing to accept “hopeless diagnoses” and “forgo experimental treatments,” and he chastises Americans for expecting too much from the health-care system.

4. The stimulus bill will affect every part of health care, from medical and nursing education, to how patients are treated and how much hospitals get paid. The bill allocates more funding for this bureaucracy than for the Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force combined (90-92, 174-177, 181).


What is it that Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity keep reminding us? We're on the "Road to Socialism" I believe. Yes, well on the way.

Mark Steyn has written in Imprimus, last year anyway, that once we go down the road to Universal Health Care we're basically doomed.

More coming...
